Gender identity is defined as a personal conception of oneself as male, female, both, or neither. In 2014, President Obama signed an executive order barring discrimination on the basis of sexual orientation or gender identity among federal contractors. The order covered employers who perform federal work and protected an estimated 20 percent of American workers.

Yes but there should be room for opinion and debate especially when it comes to children
im fine with male, female, trans and non binary but i feel like the other genders are unnessasary
No, how about we are all “human.” Why does it have to be so technical. I think people want more boxes, more confusion to put us in, a larger divide.

I don't mind if it is or isn't added
No it shouldn't because its getting ridiculous at this point
No, that should be fought for by the individual, not the government
@kuyugomodiLiberal5yrs5Y
It's nowhere near the same so no
@7PTCG383yrs3Y
Yes, but transgender individuals should avoid occupations that largely interact with infants and young children on a daily basis since they are too young to mentally grasp the concept of gender identity
@7PTCG383yrs3Y
Yes, but transgender individuals should avoid occupations that primarily interact with infants or younger children on a daily basis, since it may create mental anguish and anxiety among them over the concept of gender identity
@7PTCG383yrs3Y
No, there are only two genders which are genetically determined, but we should address gender identity as a mental health issue and provide funds for more research and care

No, apply gender identity to the general anti-discrimination rules of the company but do not characterize it as a separate classification
@7PTCG384yrs4Y

@7PTCG384yrs4Y
No, this should fall under general anti-discrimination laws for private companies and not require a separate categorization
@7PTCG385yrs5Y
No, enforce the anti-discrimination laws that already exist for both genetically determined genders. Address gender identity as a mental health issue and provide funds for more research and care.
@7PTCG384yrs4Y
No, just enforce the general anti-discrimination laws that already exist and apply them to the inclusion of gender identity. There does not need to be a separate addition to the laws
@7PTCG383yrs3Y
Yes, but also address gender identity as a mental health issue with more funds needed for research and care
@7PTCG383yrs3Y
Yes, but gender identity should also be addressed as a mental health issue, with funds provided for more research and care.
@8NPWPXD4yrs4Y
This doesnt matter to me im ok with what ever
@8P5GKWH4yrs4Y
Those who fall into this category should have the right to be treated fairly and not mistreated because of their choices as long they are not committing a crime. They must also have limitations based on their biological gender as certain interactions could cause serious conflicts. i.e restroom choices.
@7PTCG383yrs3Y

Yes, but transgender individuals should be prevented from working with children at a grade school or preschool level, and we should also address gender identity as a mental health issue and provide funds for more research and care
